3 Children, Grandparents Die During Fire in Connecticut

STAMFORD, Conn. -- Three children died Christmas morning during a blaze that also claimed the life of their grandparents who had tried to save the sisters.

Twins Sarah and Grace were 7 years old; their older sister Lily, 10. Their grandparents were Lomer and Pauline Johnson. Madonna Badger, mother and daughter of the victims, and her friend Michael Borcino, escaped the fire. She is a 47-year-old marketing executive.

Conneticut officials had the Victorian mansion razed on Monday, deeming it a fire hazard to a curious and grieving public. Fire officials said Monday on morning television shows that the cause of the fire that burned the three-story home had been determined before the structure was razed.

Latrell "Fred" Dunbar: Students, Community Mourn Loss of Athlete





D'IBERVILLE -- There was such a magnificant outpouring Thursday for the student-athlete known for his smile and his happy personality.





An estimated 2,000 people attended the funeral for Latrell "Fred" Dunbar, 16, a member of the D'Iberville High School football team. Even more would have been present, but family members asked schools across South Mississippi to limit the number of students because of space though at least seven teams showed up for the memorial, according to The Sun Herald, held in the gymnasium at D'Iberville High School. Gautier High students were among the attendants.
































Still, those unable to attend viewed the services live on WLOX-TV 13 and Sun Herald TV. Media also have provided numerous photographs of the service at D'Iberville High.
